EAT

    • Lucide—Chef Michèle Meier was named “chef of the year 2021” by Gault Millau. Find this upscale dining spot inside the KKL Luzern, the city’s cultural and convention center.
    • Old Swiss House—Indulge in the decadent and delicious Wiener Schnitzel (veal escalope). The restaurant’s specialty for more than 50 years, the dish is prepared in front of the guests’ eyes.
    • Regina Montium at Kräuterhotel Edelweiss—Plan a meal here around an excursion to Mount Rigi. This sustainability-focused, Michelin-starred restaurant highlights local Swiss ingredients, including harvests from its onsite herb garden.

DRINK
